As part of a plea deal, prosecutors last week requested that Fogle spend 12-and-a-half years in prison. Fogle’s lawyers recommended a five year sentence. Today's sentence was expected to fall within the five- to fifty-year range, and under federal law, Fogle could have faced the maximum sentence behind bars. If additional evidence emerges, new charges could be brought against Fogle.
